Coaches, we are going to address an ongoing issue here in TVBA. This is focused on players and coaches. Head coaches are in charge of there teams as well as there fans. They are the one who is allowed to call time outs, stand and coach, and occasionally if done in the right manner question calls. Assistants are there to coach there team from the bench. The assistant is not allowed to argue or question calls, call time outs etc. The majority of our coaches seem to grasp this rule. Others have zero regard for the rules or anyone and take these actions way too far. If you would like to ask about a call or a rule most will try and help you with this. Yelling, Screaming, Throwing your hands up isn’t the way to handle this. When the Regional s and Final Four play begins the officials have been instructed that there will be zero tolerance on Demonstrative Actions. Be governed accordingly.
Profanity, whether directed at an official or even your on player or players on your team will not be tolerated. This is a automatic ejection.
Players are not allowed to be Demonstrative towards the officials. Yes we understand they are young kids. But we have to teach self control. Throwing your arms up, stomping your feet, slamming the ball, rolling your eyes and some instances cursing at the officials are all examples of this. I know we watch this behavior daily in the NBA. But as a reminder this is grade school and not professionals. If any of your children even rolled there eyes at you they would be up the creek without a paddle or would they?
Once again, as was discussed at the coaches meeting back at BWW on October 21st. We are human and will miss calls. We are going to make mistakes. There is a right way and a wrong way to handle a disagreement. Please work with us and we will work with you. I hope to have the best officials calling at the Regional`s and Final Four. Good Luck in the tournament to everyone.
Before I forget. Absolutely NO FOOD OR DRINKS FROM THE OUTSIDE IS TO BE BROUGHT INTO GYMS. You don`t take them into Varsity games. I was told by a parent this is only about revenue. It has zero to do with revenue. Its about the trash and food thats left over being thrown into the bleachers and floor. When you walk past two signs saying NO FOOD or drinks, Then you go outside and put the food in your purse and sneak back in. Then get caught and ask the food to be taken outside. Then you start with the F Bombs. Then its removal time for YOU..
